WHEN I LOOKED AND SEEN ALL THE TOP PAINT PEELED BACK ABOVE THE DRIVER REAR SIDE ALMOST TO FRONT DOORS OF DRIVER SIDE ALL WAY BACK AND ALL WAY TO METAL LIKE IT WAS NEVER PAINTED AND JUST PEELING OFF AND STILL COMING OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V262000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NO LONGER WORKED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY WHEN SWITCHING FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,400. UPDATED 3/24/15*CN

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED DURING NIGHT, THE HEADLAMP SWITCH BECAME HOT AND OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. DJR

WHILE DRIVING, BELT TENSIONER SEIZED BREAKING BELT AND OVER HEATING CAR. BOTH BELT TENSIONERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING/FAN TENSIONER. NOT FOR THE WATER PUMP/ALTERNATOR PULLEY/TENSIONER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 SUZUKI SX4. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 15 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS A WRITE OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT TURN ON REGARDLESS OF THE WEIGHT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN INQUIRED WITH DEALER, WE WERE TOLD THERE WASN'T ENOUGH WEIGHT EVEN THOUGH IT RANGED FROM 120- 250. THEN THE AIR BAG INDICATOR CAME ON AND THE AIR BAG ON/OFF PASSENGER LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON OFF, THE AIRBAG ON/OFF LIGHT NEVER GOES ON. NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING US WE NEED TO REPLACE THE PAD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT...PROBABLY, THEY CAN'T BE CERTAIN UNTIL IT'S BEEN CHANGED AT A FEE OF $800. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE PLANT THAT IT WAS MADE IN. THE XL7 AND OTHER GM CARS WITH SAME BODY FRAME HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM EXCEPT THE XL7 IS NOT BEING RECALLED. WHY NOT? I FEAR IT'S BECAUSE THE XL7 HAS HAD A SMALLER PRODUCTION THAN OTHER GM CARS AND NOW WITH SUZUKI NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION, WE OWNERS HAVE NO ONE TO INVESTIGATE AND INITIATE A RECALL - ISN'T THIS WHERE/WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE STEPPING UP? THIS CANNOT BE MEETING MANDATORY SAFETY STANDARDS. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THESE VEHICLES WERE EFFECTED IN ADDITION TO THE XL7:GMC/ACADIA 2007, SATURN/OUTLOOK 2007 MANUFACTURER: GENERAL MOTORS CORP. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V062000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2007 COMPONENT: AIR BAGS: FRONTAL: SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM), WHICH CONTROLS THE FUNCTION OF FRONT AIR BAGS, MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT AIR BAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY IN A FRONTAL CRASH. ALSO, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAY FAIL TO PROVIDE WARNING THAT THE SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE. CONSEQUENCE: N THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THIS CONDITION COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS IN THE FRONT SEAT. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE SDM COMPUTER MODULE. WHY IS THE XL7 NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL/ REPAIR/ REPROGRAM? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA. I HAVE CHANGED THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM BULB FOUR TIMES AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE TWO TIMES. I RECENTLY REPLACED THE FAN MOTOR TWICE AND THE RESISTOR ONCE. I HAD TO REPLACED THE ERG AFTER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS EXHAUST IN MY COOLANT SYSTEM. THE ONLY PART THE WARRANTY COVER WAS ONE FAN MOTOR. *TR
